I don't think so.

Oh yeah. I was assuming an infinite series (somehow). Also, odds are good that out of 34 people, one of them would misunderstand the rules or be crazy enough to do it anyway for various reasons. I'd probably still do it.

I'd pull the lever to kill one person immediately. Assuming the decision maker at each stage is a different person with different opinions on moral, ethical, religious, and logical questions, then it's a near certainty that someone is going to pull the lever to kill the people at their stage. If you're lucky, it's the very next guy. If you're not, it's the guy killing a million people a couple of iterations later. If I'm the first guy, I'll take the moral hit to save the larger number of people.

Man, I totally forgot about this story. That takes me waaaaay back.

Just English. I've tried to learn Spanish repeatedly and it didn't stick, so I decided to do something completely different. My girlfriend speaks Russian fluently, so it seemed like a logical language to try. It's not as hard as I was expecting, honestly.

I'm trying to learn Russian, and I wish I were already fluent lol

Can't make an omelet without killing a few lions.

What makes this great is that the color scheme is almost exactly the same.

This guy time travels. That's what I was thinking too - just stick dates and a few race outcomes would easily translate to more than 10mil.
